A motorboat takes 5 hours to travel 100 kilometers going upstream. The return trip takes

Mathematics
1 answer:
tatuchka [14]3 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say b is the rate of the boat in still water, and c is the rate of the current.

Distance = rate × time

Going upstream:

100 = (b − c) (5)

20 = b − c

Going downstream:

100 = (b + c) (2)

50 = b + c

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination.  Using elimination, add the equations together:

70 = 2b

b = 35

c = 15

The boat's speed is 35 km/h, and the current's speed is 15 km/h.

There is a prism with a pentagonal base the height is 8 cm the area of the pentagonal base is 30.5cm what is the volume of the p
astraxan [27]

Answer:

244 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Height of the prism with a pentagonal base (h): 8 cm

Area of the pentagonal base (A): 30.5 cm²

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the prism with a pentagonal base

We have a regular pentagonal prism, that is, the 5 sides of the base are equal and we know the area of the base and the height of the prism. We can calculate its volume using the following expression.

V = A × h

V = 30.5 cm² × 8 cm = 244 cm³

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation Y=3/4x-2
sukhopar [10]

Hey there! :)

y = 3/4x - 2

To find the slope and y-intercept, simply use slope-intercept form to understand this.

Slope-intercept form is : y = mx + b ; where m = slope, b = y-intercept.

Therefore, you must ask yourself : which value is in the "m" spot and which value is in the "b" spot in our given equation?

Using this logic, we can come to the conclusion that :

Slope = 3/4 & Y-intercept = -2

~Hope I helped! :)

Answer:

8 units!!

Step-by-step explanation: When the coordinates are reflected in both axes, it is technically just going diagonally. And 'base' means perimeter. so that is your answer. :)
